Headlines, in a way, are what mislead you because bad news is a headline, and gradual improvement is not.

When I say "miracle" I mean a kind of thing like a computer on a chip, or the internet, or the cellphone, that are really quite miraculous. Most people would not have predicted them, and their effect has been very, very dramatic.

People don't want lots and lots of single purpose devices. They do not want to have to learn how to set up something for photos, another thing for music, another thing for video.

It is hard to smash a computer when you're laughing.

The PC has improved the world in just about every area you can think of. Amazing developments in communications, collaboration and efficiencies. New kinds of entertainment and social media. Access to information and the ability to give a voice people who would never have been heard.

As I look forward, I'm very optimistic about the things I see ahead.

This antitrust thing will blow over.
